About this map

The town of Harmony serves as a central hub in this late 20th-century landscape, situated where Higgins Stream and Mainstream Pond feed into the broader drainage system of the Sebasticook River. The settlement pattern reflects a reliance on these water routes and the adjacent high ground, with family names preserved in landmarks like Carson Hill and Talbot Hill. To the south, the massive expanse of Great Moose Lake dominates the terrain, featuring notable points like Passaconaway Point and the narrow passage of The Narrows.

Evidence of historical transport is visible in the Old RR Grade running near the river, tracing the path of former industry through Mainstream. The map also captures smaller, more isolated local features including Castle Harmony and Corson Corner, alongside numerous small ponds and brooks like Starbird Pond and Lemon Stream that define the character of the borderlands between Athens, Hartland, and Cornville.
